SUBIC BAY, the Philippines — Marines from the Philippines and the United States began 10 days of joint exercises focused on disaster relief, humanitarian assistance and maritime security.

The exercises, now in their 29th year, come at a time of increased tensions in the South China Sea with the Philippines and China involved in a territorial dispute over islands lying near rich energy deposits.

US Against China Bullying

SUBIC Bay – A strong United States military presence in the Asia-Pacific region would deter China from bullying smaller countries like the Philippines, thus said an officer of the US Navy following Monday's opening of the annual Amphibious Landing Exercise (PHIBLEX 2013).

The PHIBLEX 13 formally kicked off at the former US naval facility with a ceremony held aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) commanded by Capt. Daniel Dusek. Subic Bay is located 150 nautical miles away from the disputed Panatag (Scarborough) shoal.

Officers of USS Bonhomme Richard said that Chinese ships tailed the US assault vessel while on its way to Subic.

While most US and Philippine officials have repeatedly stressed that the joint exercises between the two countries are not directed toward China, one navy officer interviewed aboard USS Bonhomme Richard said otherwise.

The US Navy officer, who declined to be identified, said: “Basically... we are here to protect the interest of small countries like the Philippines.”
